doglover:Men get groped at work, too. Probably as often or even more because we're not allowed to complain about it.

When I was putting myself through University as a Surgical Tech one of the Nurse Anesthetists not only groped me, but hit on me and thoroughly expressed her interest in (cough) exploring one another's anatomy. And after getting herself a sizable handful of (cough) of my sensitive area a circulating nurse took me home one night after our shift to (cough) cook me dinner, but that was spoiled by her shooting her ex-husband in the (R) shoulder. Through the front door. As he was trying to break it in.

reminds me of my last physical.I ended up with a young resident.not a bad looking woman at all.at the end she got a bit weird as she asked if there was anything else.I said no. then she she hemmed and hawed and then finally said: "most men want me to check their prostate"Something about the way she said that made me feel really sorry for her.so I lied and told her "No, I'm good. Maybe next time"

Smackledorfer:Bathysphere: Smackledorfer: People who are groped complain, but I think they would prefer it to being ungropably unattractive.

Grass is always greener.

/got groped when I was a waiter//there was lots of groping all around.

What if you were so unattractive that you were only groped by people in your league. Now that would suck.

Groping doesn't work that way.

As a nonconsentual act, everyone gropes up.

With the exception of weirdos and alcohol.

Of course as an 18 y.o. man, with virtual rape immunity (to women), having a few ladies touch me in places was quite a lot better than school, where even my imagination involved girls wanting little to do with me :)

troggy:I've never understood why having Dr. before your name or ,M.D. after is supposed to confer automatic societal respect. Medical doctors are the biological equivalent of car mechanics and IT monkeys.

The tread was being derailed in the other direction. If it rocks back and forth too much I might get see sick.

ImmaHoopyFrood:I wouldn't say it is one of the most respected jobs (independent software dev), but I've been groped twice. I'm a dude and both were female managers/clients. First time was a simple butt grab and a "You smell so good". The other was a nibble on my ear from behind and a right hand over my crotch while I was sitting in a chair. Both times I simply said "I'm married". 2nd time was tough though because she was extremely attractive. I felt flattered instead of violated. I figured they were just trolling for flings.

Hey - I was aiming for Fark! How the hell did I end up in Penthouse Letters??

Having done two years of pharmacy residency at two different teaching hospitals and now working at a third, I've not ever met an unattractive medical resident, intern, or med student. Of either gender. I think that being beautiful is a prerequisite to med school admission. Trolls like me get to go to pharmacy school.

Chariset:I've read a lot of stories from emergency room doctors needing to let off steam. Apparently sexual harassment from the (drunk/stoned/stupid) patients is common, but so are four-point restraints and a nice dose of Haldol.

simple...one can live with a car or a computer that's broke. Not so much with a body that is broken.

But the mechanic actually has to know something. The IT guy has to be able to fix things. Machines don't fix themselves. Bodies do. A general practitioner only has to know a handful of drug names to make you feel better while you heal and how to say "I'm refering you to a specialist."
